2 Overview: Introduction GSDI Global Mapping Introduction Standards Participating Utilization Data structure Albanian Global Map Dataset Process of developing Specifications Accessibility and Copyright Outputs

3 INTRODUCTION - The performed research is part of case study within the PhD thesis of Milot Lubishtani in geodesy department of Polytechnic University of Tirana. - Developing of Albanian Global Map dataset is performed by the team of experts in State Authority for Geospatial Information (ASIG) of Albania, leaded by PhD candidate Milot Lubishtani, and supervised by mentor prof. Bashkim Idrizi. - Albanian GM dataset with all 8 (eight) layers has been released on July 14 th, 2016 to the web site of ISCGM. - Albanian GM dataset is open for download, and free for non-commercial use. - From September 2016, Albanian GM dataset was migrated to United Nations Geospatial Information Section (UNGIS) database.

4 What is GSDI??? The GLOBAL SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE supports ready global access to geographic information. This is achieved through the coordinated actions of nations and organizations that promote awareness and implementation of complimentary policies, common standards and effective mechanisms for the development and availability of interoperable digital geographic data and technologies to support decision making at all scales for multiple purposes. These actions encompass the policies, organizational remits, data, technologies, standards, delivery mechanisms, and financial and human resources necessary to ensure that those working at the global and regional scale are not impeded in meeting their objectives Global Mapping directly contributes to development of GSDI - Global Spatial Data Infrastructure.

5 GLOBAL MAPPING

6 INTRODUCTION Global Mapping project The Earth Summit - the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) - in Rio in June addressed the issue of information access, - mention of the need for global mapping, - stressing the importance of public access to information and - international cooperation in making it available! The International Steering Committee for Global Mapping (ISCGM) was established in 13 th February 1996 in Tsukuba, Japan, with the office in GSI-Geographical Survey Institute (Geospatial Information Authority of Japan).

7 IMPORTANT DATES OF GLOBAL MAPPING HISTORY: In 1998year, UNITED NATIONS, was put down the letter addressed to all National mapping organizations around the world with invitation for participating in the project! World Summit on Sustainable Development; Johannesburg; 2002 Initiatives and partnerships for global mapping, were strongly encouraged in the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation. 23th Meeting of ISCGM; New York; August, 2016 Final meeting of ISCGM, dissolution of ISCGM and the termination of the Global Mapping Project. GM dataset will be transferred to the United Nations Geospatial Information Section (UNGIS). Approval from the National Mapping Agencies is mandatory for transfer!

8 What is Global Mapping? - international collaborative initiative, through - voluntary participation of national mapping organizations of the world, - aiming to develop globally homogeneous geographic data set - at the ground resolution of 1km, and - to establish concrete partnership among governments, NGOs, private sectors, data providers and users - to share information and knowledge for sound decision-making Global Mapping contributes to Collaboration between participants is essential for -sustainable economic development of society and environment -implementation of global/international conventions and agreements for environment protection -to oversee major phenomena of the environment and -encourage economic growth within a sustainable context - Global spatial data infrastructure (GSDI - Global Spatial Data Infrastructure) and - Global observation systems on Earth (GEOSS - Global Earth observation system of systems).

9 POTENTIAL UTILIZATION OF GLOBAL MAP Some potential applications of GM data are given bellow: - Monitoring and early warning systems for natural disasters; - Monitoring and management of natural resources; - Assessment of the trends of global environment changes; - Local, national and multinational physical development planning; - Informed decision-making of policy makers with a strategic database; - Global/Regional/National perspective and contextual information; - Developing ecosystem, drainage basins framework for environmental assessment; - Quantifying trans boundary issues; - Rapid Response capability; - Environmental priority setting, analytical studies over large areas, ext. GM dataset enables: - all global data to be in one place, - with the same items, - in the same format, - in the same coordinate system, - in the same scale, - In the same spatial resolution, and - with similar accuracy.

10 PARTICIPATION IN GLOBAL MAP Participation is voluntary by the National Mapping Organizations categorized in three levels: Level A - institution will prepare the data set of own country and other countries, Level B - institution will prepare the data set of own country, and Level C - institution will give all necessary data, preparation will be done by ISCGM.

11 Standards within Global Mapping Global Map Specifications - Version 1.1, on , - Version 1.2 on , - Version on , - Version 1.3 on , - Version 2 on , - Version 2.1 on , and - Version 2.2 on , and The data structure is adopted in to ISO/TC 211 standards for geographic information, i.e.: - ISO19136 for GML format, - ISO 3166 for nation codes, - ISO standard of metadata of V2 by using ISO for encoding, - ISO standard of metadata of V1, - ISO639 for language code, and - ISO8601 for date code.

12 SCHEME OF STANDARDS IN GLOBAL MAPPING

13 MATHEMATICAL ELEMENTS OF GLOBAL MAP - Datum ITRF 94 + GRS 80 ellipsoid or datum WGS 84; - Horizontal accuracy: ± 1km for 90% of points, ± 0.5km by utilization of satellite images -Vertical accuracy: ± 150m for 90% of points; -Tiling system of GM V1/V2 is GEOREF, with two pair of letters: - First pair come from 15 by 15 standard GEOREF division - Second pair 1 by 1 standard GEOREF divisions - The tiling system of GM V1 global version uses the dividing system of 30 x 30 starting from the equator and the Greenwich meridian.

14 GLOBAL MAP DATA Global Map V.0 Global Map V.X Global Map V1/V2 (national and regional version) and Global Map V1 (global version). The GM V.0 is based in Vmap level 0 data, Global Land Cover Characterization (GLCC), and GTOPO 30 elevation data set. It contains four raster layers (vegetation, land cover, land use and elevation), in TIFF/BIL raster formats, developed by using existing global geographic datasets, and without any validation of any NMO s. The GM V.X is based in existing global geographic datasets also, tentatively developed with expectance to be improved in GM V1/V2.
